TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) - Japan has agreed to give
Taiwan fishing rights in waters near a group of Japanese-controlled
islands in the East China Sea that are also claimed by China and
Taiwan.
In a deal signed on Wednesday, Japan agreed to let Taiwanese
boats fish in a part of its exclusive economic zone near the
islands. They are known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in
China.
A Taiwan government statement hailed the deal as enabling the
sides to jointly tap the rich resources there.
Japan's compromise could be seen as a way to prevent Taiwan from
forming a united front with China in the dispute, though Taiwan has
also disputed China's territorial claim.
